Spotlight Alarms

Alarms are the warnings that Spotlight raises when a metric falls outside its "normal" range of values. A new alarm is raised whenever the severity for a metric changes. When the severity returns to normal, the alarm is canceled.

Alarms are recorded in the Spotlight alarm log pages:

Many Spotlight elements use color to indicate severity.

High Medium Low Normal Information Disabled

You can configure Spotlight to notify you of changes to severity through color or intensity, audible warnings, sending email or network notifications or running a program.

Click on the component to open help regarding the alarm. The text in the help window gives some details about the alarm, why it was raised, and ways in which the problem indicated can be resolved.

Use the help to open the drilldown page that is directly related to the alarm. Drilldown pages contain charts and tables that you can use to diagnose the cause of the alarm. The drilldown page may also refer you to the Oracle Community at Toad World to topics directly related to the issue (http://www.toadworld.com/platforms/oracle/default.aspx).

You may like to view one or more related drilldown pages that may be of some value in diagnosing the problem.

Use the information shown in the help window, together with the details shown in the associated drilldown page(s), to discover why Spotlight has raised the alarm.

If the alarm is transient, you at least will see where in the system it occurred. If the alarm persists, Spotlight indicates what measures need to be taken to resolve the problem.
